Ah my bad, I'm asking for a potential teammate!
They're a recent graduate from NYU, but since they're here on a student visa, the opt is employment through NYU so they can stay in the states. Sorry for the confusion!
Here's a link to the opt program at NYU: https://www.nyu.edu/students/student-information-and-resources/student-visa-and-...
I see, thanks for the clarification -- unfortunately, since they're a graduate, they wouldn't be eligible to win the prizing listed. :( Your friend is welcome to join the Discord community, attend workshops or even submit a game, but the jam does require that all teammates be currently enrolled in a degree program in order to win prizes. Let me know if I can assist further!
Hi hi! Yes, students at universities outside of North America are 100% welcome to the jam!
However, part of the first place prize (CORSAIR peripherals) cannot ship outside of North America, so if you were to hypothetically win that prize, it would be swapped. That鈥檚 the only part of the jam could be affected by location, the other prizing (feedback from industry guest judges) would be awarded as normal! Just keep in mind all deadlines are in Pacific Time and you鈥檒l be good. 馃槉
hello juliwaves, I am a highschool student from bangladesh , i registered for the this jam on itch.io page but when i tried to register the google form , it required a edu mail which unfortunately i dont have any..is there any way i can perticipate in this jam? me and my team members(all are highschool students) are highly interested to perticipate in this jam and attend the events and webinars as this events could help us develop as a team more.
is there any way that we can attend this jam and zoom events ?:"(
Hi adib! So admirable you're wanting to join as a high school student! ^ 銋 Kudos for you for being so proactive!
Unfortunately, the game jam is only open to students currently enrolled in a degree seeking program (undergrad/grad). Another high school student had asked about eligibility for joining on the Discord, and this is what Julia had said in response:
if you鈥檙e not in university you can still attend the workshops! just sign up with your school email ... the workshops are all a lecture format with Q&A time at the end
I believe you can still join the game jam itself, but you wouldn't be eligible for prizing! So there's nothing stopping you from coming into the community, mingling, and submitting something that the community can enjoy playing through. :D
